Interview with Tia, 16-17, Caribbean, lower middle class, no religion. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, London, 1989. Original version including field notes. (Ref: LSFS25)

This interview is part of the Women, Risk and Aids Project (1989-90) archive which was created as part of the Reanimating Data Project (2018-20).<br>Original transcript of an interview with Tia, who is currently doing her A-Levels and would like to do a degree in business studies. Tia is enjoying being single and has big plans to move to another country and earn a lot of money - a boyfriend would only hold her back. She does think she might be a little nervous to pursue any sort of romantic or sexual relationship, though, and is adamant on establishing her career before marriage and children. Her all-girls school offered a comprehensive sex education curriculum, though AIDS education was quite limited. She thinks sex education should continue at college. Tia has some interesting thoughts on virginity loss, pleasure and expectations of different sexual practices, largely due to negative feedback from her peers - pleasure seems to be something that only boys are allowed to have. Her parents are from the Caribbean and Tia has a diverse group of friends, but acknowledges a lot of contradictions to do with religion and race that she has noticed.

本次访谈隶属于1989至1990年间开展的女性、风险与艾滋病项目（Women, Risk and Aids Project）档案库，该档案库系2018至2020年实施的数据活化项目（Reanimating Data Project）的组成部分。本次访谈的访谈对象为蒂亚（Tia），她目前正在攻读英国高级程度会考（A-Levels）课程，计划日后攻读商科专业学位。蒂亚享受单身状态，怀揣远赴他国、赚取丰厚收入的远大抱负——她认为男友只会成为自己前进的阻碍。不过她坦言，在发展任何浪漫或亲密关系时，自己或许会略带紧张；她始终坚定地主张，应当先建立事业，再考虑结婚生子。她就读的女子中学开设了全面的性教育课程，但艾滋病相关教育内容相当有限。她认为大学阶段也应当延续性教育内容。蒂亚关于童贞丧失、性愉悦以及不同性行为的认知与期待颇为独到，这很大程度上源于同龄群体带给她的负面反馈：在她看来，性愉悦似乎是仅男性可享有的权利。蒂亚的父母均来自加勒比地区，她的交友圈子多元包容，但她也坦言自己察觉到了诸多涉及宗教与种族的矛盾之处。
